Successful at what?
Everyone has natural talent. They just need the right kinds of pressure to bring it out, and a 'good teacher' knows it. You can't really teach anyone anything - you can only bring out what's already there.
'Right method' depends on the goals of the practitioner. A twenty year old is going to have different goals than a 40 year old with a family and a job. Different limitations, abilities, physicality and affinities. Time spent will be coming from very different budgets. That holds true almost completely across the
Most fail in those three because they don't really consider them for what they are.

It should have been
1 natural talent
2 right method
3 perseverance
Natural talent is the least nessasery
No all don't have it some no matter how long some people train will never get it
Right method and good teacher mean the same thing
But even with out the other two perseverance is prime
If we are talking about tai chi it should be complete mastery of the total art if not we are not talking about tai chi but something else
I don't care what people add to their art
What goals they have or how they train
Just don't call it tai chi it is something else
